The prizewinner and a guest will spend three nights at a Greco-Roman style bastide set in pretty gardens close to Saint Remy de Provence. You’ll stay in an elegant, light-filled room with views over the hotel’s grounds.

During your stay, relax in the pretty, flower-filled gardens, take a dip in the outdoor pool, or sip a glass of the palest Provence rosé on the terrace. Breakfast is included in your stay: try traditional French pastries under the mulberry trees.

If you’d like to get out and explore, you’re on the edge of many of Provence’s loveliest towns. Walk 10 minutes into the centre of St-Rémy-de-Provence, a walled town that’s famous for its Wednesday markets, which take over the winding, mostly car-free streets. Head up to the hilltop town of Les Baux, where shops are built into the walls, for dramatic views over the surrounding vineyards; to L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, an antiques mecca packed out with shabby-chic cafés; or, for a hit of culture, to the Saint-Paul Asylum, where Van Gogh painted some of his most famous works.

The winner and their guest will travel on Eurostar’s direct service from London to the South of France, taking them to the centre of Marseille. Travelling in Standard Premier, you'll travel with lots of space to relax, with food and drink served to your seat and over 300 hours of free on board entertainment – all while the French countryside goes by at high-speed.
